WP Windows Phone 7: Version 2.0 Is Here: Gallery Support and Dashboard Access

We promised to release updates faster, and so this is the first of many updates to come. Today we’re happy to announce gallery support for WordPress.com blogs and direct access to your WordPress Dashboard and public website.

Galleries are a great way to share pictures with your friends and followers. An image gallery will display thumbnails for all images attached to a particular post or page. Readers can tap or click any image to launch the gallery full-screen, displaying huge versions of your images.

You can create a gallery straight from your device by attaching two or more pictures to a post or a page. You can even customize the appearance of a gallery by tapping the “gallery settings” button and choosing the best options for your site.

Gallery Styles

You have great control over how the gallery will be displayed: as a thumbnail grid, as a tiled mosaic-style grid, or as a slideshow. A tiled mosaic-style grid has Rectangular, Square, and Circular formatting options, for a total of 5 choices.

Below is an example of an image gallery using the default thumbnail setting. If you click on any of the images you will be able to see what the carousel view looks like:
